Entertainer

This innovative luxury home certainly lives up to its name – the Entertainer.

The enormous central family living, dining and kitchen area is conceptualised as the central hub from which all other activity extends. It opens to covered outdoor living and dining; it also separates the parents’ suite, formal living and study or guest room from two family bedrooms and bathroom.

Exemplifying Englehart’s twin pillars of design and innovation, this site-responsive and unique residence effortlessly blends with its landscape using a split level and expansive windows that brighten living.

With a calming neutral palette the house is also designed as a relaxing getaway in itself.

Living smarter

with lifestyle technology

Lifestyle technology aims to give you more of life’s most precious commodity.... time. Boutique Technologies offer the experience and expertise to deliver a system to complement and simplify your lifestyle.

Let’s walk through the lifestyle tasks you do automatically when you get home at night. You pull up to your home and search for your clicker to open and close your garage. After parking you fumble with your keys in the dark to open your door and once inside move swiftly to disarm your alarm. Then you turn lights on to feel safe and comfortable, roll down blinds for privacy and set your climate control to an ideal temperature. Finally it’s time to turn on the TV or music to unwind but where is the remote, and do I remember how to use my AV setup?

These are just a few of the manual steps we repeat subconsciously every day without questioning our efficiency. We’re now surrounded by lifestyle technologies; many look simple to implement however integrating technologies onto a single platform to simplify their collective use is another matter entirely. Your home lifestyle can be greatly simplified and enhanced when designed in partnership with an experienced lifestyle technology provider.

We took you through seven steps above that many of us complete after getting home. With a professionally designed lifestyle technology system all seven steps can be automatically triggered and processed from the moment you open your garage door through a security protected personal device.

This single action to open your garage door can run a sequence of commands based on the user’s preferences. In this case, opening the garage door triggers the following; the entry door to unlock (Access Control), the home to Disarm (Security), selected lights to turn on (Lighting Control), selected blinds to close (Blind Control), the home HVAC to turn on to a set temperature (Climate Control) and the TV or Audio system to turn on your preferred choice of entertainment (Audio Visual) all within a single initial press of a button that is tailored to process your preferences.

Professionally implemented lifestyle technology not only adds features to your home; it makes your life easier. Anything is possible but early planning is the key to a well-designed lifestyle technology system which is discrete, aesthetically pleasing, functional and reliable.

The award-winning team at internationally renowned Boutique Technologies can sit down with you and discuss your individual needs, look through your home plans and spend the time to understand how you and your family use your space.

Director Reuben Rego says it’s essential for the Boutique Technologies team to understand your daily routines and most essential lifestyle needs to facilitate the most intelligent solution, no matter how large or small your home may be.

“Our experience and skill allows us to think laterally, to create and deliver concepts and robust systems that were previously unheard of,” Reuben says.
